Tandoori Bite

I have mixed feelings about Tandoori Bite. On one hand, I love that it is open late. Being a night-​owl and a fan of the party, I appreciate that there are spots in Dublin to get food later than 9 o’clock. I also like the vibe, especially in the later hours of the night. The place is usually occupied with groups of young drunk people, and for some reason I like places like that. The décor leaves something to be desired, but at 2 AM, it’s not the foremost concern on my mind.
On the other hand, though, the food isn’t anything special. If fact, I think it might be the worst Indian food I have had in Dublin. That’s not to say it is bad, it’s just that there is a lot of spectacular Indian food to be eaten in this city.
I do think that the good outweighs the bad, though, because the food is decent. Besides, I think Indian is 100 times better than greasy fries and burgers in the middle of the night.

So its the wee small hours of the morning and your after something more then a bag of chips, foodwise of course. So if you’ve been drinking or clubbing down on Wexford street then its only a short stumble to tandoori bites on St Richmond street.
Open until 4 in the am this place will probably be the last chance saloon for a drink in Dublin of an evening.
I’ve never been here in daylight hours so memories of the food are blurry at best. What brings most people here mostly i’m guessing is it just becomes part of your night out. Last time I was here for for friends engagement and 20 of us piled into the place, in fairness to the staff they were patient and prompt with the food, which was demolished. Its all standard Indian fare.
Between here and Gigs place across the road, late night restaurants in Dublin are few and far between so I’m all for it. Great fun, especially if you’ve there with a group. You should have no bother getting a taxi by the time you leave cos it’ll be 8 in the morning!

A last minute dinner plan and a desire to eat at an indian we hadn’t tried before, left us landing at this doorway at 10pm one Saturday.
Looks pretty unprepossessing, but I didn’t hold that against it. Not empty: a few tables, one lively youthful one was having fun.
The service was unenthusiastic, but not rude– there were none of the usual pappadams to whet your appetite.
The prices were middle of the range, say 12 — 15 for a main course. The options, straight down the line, no surprises. The wines seemed overpriced for a place like that; I think there was nothing under 25 and all sounded uninteresting.
But the worst thing was the food– gloopy, cornflour thickened sauce, with a smell of over-​the-​counter curry sauce. You can get as good or better from the chilled section of Tesco’s for 3 euros.
Couldn’t get attention to pay our bill either, we debated doing a runner, but didn’t. But what a waste of money!
Give it a miss
